Help with cat spraying!?

Question

My mom's 7 year old cat sprays everywhere in her house. He has been neutered (TWICE) and nothing seems to work. He also has diabetes, could this be a side effect? She is getting really frustrated cleaning up after him...any ideas on how to stop this?

Answer 1

I want to know how an animal can be neutered TWICE, once they are gone, they are gone, they don't grow back.

Answer 2

Don't know how you can neuter a cat twice, but regardless, if he was an older cat, the habit was already built in.    Once they start that habit, it is darn near impossible to get them to stop.....

Examination: Have your veterinarian examine your cat to eliminate the possibility of a medical problem.

Litter Boxes: Make sure there are enough litter boxes, at least one more than the number of cats in your household. Make sure the litter boxes are cleaned regularly and litter boxes are strategically placed at all levels of the house.

Spay and Neuter: If your cat has not been neutered, consider having it done. This may solve the problem completely. Most castrated toms stopped spraying from the day they were operated.

Clean-Up: Clean urine marks thoroughly with a special product designed to neutralize the odor. Urine-Off Odor and Stain Remover eliminates all types of urine stains and odor. Avoid ammonia-based products, which smell like urine. The smell of urine or ammonia encourages the cat to spray on the same spot again.

Eliminate Stressors: If your pet is in a stressful situation, such as conflict with other cats or separation anxiety, try to identify and eliminate the cause of the stress.

Pheromonal Sprays: Use a commercial pheromone product such as Feliway Spray to help stop cat spraying. Both male and female cats, because of hormonal and behavior problems, can start spraying urine on objects or areas. Feliway contains pheromone-like substances which discourages this behavior when it is applied to the area the pet has sprayed. Also try Feliway Electric Diffuser to restore a feeling of calm in the cat by releasing a synthetic scent hormone, which permeates throughout the environment.

Restrict the view: When your cat sees another cat, its natural response is to mark its territory – your house. You can cover up the view of the great outdoors by using blinds or curtains to cover windows, moving furniture to deny access to certain windows, shut the doors to certain “high risk” rooms, and close off your screened-in porches.

Be Consistent: Change often causes spraying. Feed your cat at the same time each day and keep its food, litter box, and bed in their usual places. When you have visitors, put your cat in a separate room (especially if your visitors have cats of their own and may carry in their scent).

Patterns: Recognize the typical pattern of urine-marking and consider possible initiating factors. Think about the events that occurred at the same time as the urine-marking, such as a new person in the house, the absence of a key household figure, or the introduction of a new pet, especially another cat. Note: Cats may suffer from medical conditions that make them urinate outside the litter box. If you encounter any problem that involves urinating outside the litter box (spraying or otherwise), consult your veterinarian. Some of these conditions may be life threatening if not treated right away.

take him to the vet and make sure he isn't suffering from a urinary track infection, this will cause cats to pee outside the box,
